How SymTec is Meeting Credit Union Technology Challenges

Here are some of the key areas in which we are meeting credit union information technology challenges for clients nationwide:

REGULATION

Credit Unions are heavily regulated businesses that require constant technology updates and maintenance for system security, compliance, performance, and technical advances. A Credit Union’s information technology systems must be holistically designed and expertly maintained to meet current and upcoming regulatory requirements.

SECURITY

Most Credit Unions recognize the significant need to keep up with security but are often lacking the staff required to maintain daily focus. Based on their recent audits, the NCUA has placed a heavy focus on Cyber Security thereby placing it at the forefront of many Credit Unions’ priority list.

In today’s risk-saturated environment the security team for a Credit Union deals not only with traditional perimeter security but they also must address security issues such as malware, viruses, phishing, and social engineering. Cyber attackers are well funded and cast a wide net, making attacks on Credit Unions both dangerous and likely. We help Credit Unions strengthen their defensive position to keep member data secure.

COMPLIANCE

Keeping up with IT compliance is daunting for most regulated environments, Credit Unions included. IT compliance requires constant focus in an effort to avoid the risk of non-compliance with NCUA guidelines. Any limitations in either the number or knowledge of staff members can make it challenging to meet these requirements. New technology such as cloud computing, virtualization, and managed environments provide Credit Unions a flexible and secure infrastructure to assist in meeting compliance requirements. Our infrastructure solutions include business logic, automated updates, alerting, and reporting to help Credit Unions meet compliance requirements.

NEW MEMBER SERVICES

In order to improve services for members, Credit Unions continue to invest in new services delivery channels such as mobile account access, mobile check deposit, automated teller machines, and advanced ATM kiosks. With an agile IT infrastructure from SymTec, new member services and mobile Credit Union staff enable and support the new ways Credit Unions interact with members.

TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT

It’s easy to see how Credit Union IT staff can become overwhelmed with keeping the current environment running while trying to address new initiatives at the same time. SymTec can assist by providing strategic resources to help address new technology initiatives, the need to maximize Credit Union information technology investments, as well as provide value back to Credit Union members thru those technology investments. Newer technologies such as cloud computing, virtualization, and managed services create efficiencies, stabilize costs, and enable staff to concentrate their time and efforts on forward-thinking initiatives that help progress the Credit Union business.

With a clear process, priority list, and agreed upon schedule we quickly work to improve a Credit Union’s information technology systems.

SymTec understands that information technology, when operating at its best, helps businesses take care of more customers, provide better services to their clients, and run a very smooth operation. SymTec also appreciates that when technical solutions are not running effectively, staff morale is lower, productivity can grind to a halt, and even a loss of revenue can occur.
